If you are like me, you always worry when you hear that there will be yet another US adaptation of an European or Asian movie. This was my exact feeling about the US adoration of the cult Swedish vampire movie Let The Right One In.

Worry no more, the scenes from the new movie, Let Me In are great, and the acting is incredible. Plus, it goes back to the original book for source material. Like the book and Swedish movie, it's set in the 1980s. And the new director Matt Reeves chose to locate it in the snowy winter of Los Alamos, New Mexico. On the Let Me In panel at Comic-Con, Reeves said that he wanted the movie to be set against the backdrop of Reagan's Cold War America, where "evil," and "fighting evil," were part of the national discourse.
